It's wonderful to see my old friend in this movie--and in others. Angelo Vianello participated in a seaside art show weekly in the late 1960s in Santa Barbara, where we met. His oil paintings were lovely. We became fast friends, and I had the honor of taking care of him through his death. He asked me for the container of his greatly-beloved first wife Nilde's ashes, so they could be reunited, and he died in hours. Such a beautiful experience for us both.
